"Ask The Readers" (lol)
LJ seems to be working now. ...Mostly. So I thought I'd stretch it a little and post a poll, heh.
Seriously, there's something that's been a sticking point for me in working out Kaleidoscope (my Remus/Tonks fic series), and that is how to incorporate Tonks's "tea and sympathy" scene with Molly at the Burrow. The Tonks in my head isn't the type to mope or pine just because she can't have the man she wants, so I think there's more than that going on (frustration, anger, worry). But then for this reason, I feel like the beginning of HBP is too early in the timeline for Tonks to have given up on her chances with Remus -- not to mention that there need to be that "million times" when they argue.
So I've written a piece for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
day_by_drabble where I try to flesh out what is going on with Tonks in that scene from HBP, and I would love some feedback on whether it works for (a) canon Tonks and (b) Kaleidoscope Tonks (if you've been reading the series).
The drabble: Invitation (326 words | PG, mild profanity)

It must have been infuriating for her as well to have Remus decide what was best for her, for them, with out really taking her feelings into account. Especially when she knew that he really did love her, and that all this was completely unnecessary. She had no way to comfort him and she needed comforting too. It would make her feel helpless.
Oh, yeah, I totally agree with this! Helpless and maybe angry or frustrated too. I bet Tonks really, really hates to feel helpless.
You raise lots of great points. I'm with you on the klutziness, too. Probably Tonks is slightly more clumsy than average, but that doesn't mean she can't walk across a room or function in her important and dangerous job, for example. !!
